On my system here the above command didn't result in any audio being played, nor do I find any files left on disk. I suspect it's because of the message: cdda2wav: Bad file descriptor. Cannot open sound device '/dev/dsp'. Now, I have a Virtualbox VM open running Windows NT where I was watching a movie earlier. Possibly it still has /dev/dsp locked? mark@c2stable ~ $ ls -la /dev/dsp crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 3 Oct 19 06:23 /dev/dsp mark@c2stable ~ $ The listing below took about 1 minute to generate. - Mark mark@c2stable ~ $ cdda2wav -e -B -N No target specified, trying to find one...
